"I tried to fill my samosas with different stuffings under different branches in a manner that has some resemblance with the branches. As in our menu, the electrical branch has three different categories of samosas, Pasta, Pizza and Cheese Corn and all come with similarity and has a filling of cheese in them. When someone opens a filling of cheese comes out in the form of wire."

If we go by the reports and facts, samosa originated during the 10th century in the Middle East region. The first official mention of samosa was found in Iranian historian Abolfazl Beyhaqi's work Tarikh-e Beyhaghi where it was referred to as 'Sambosa'.
